What Is Wool Fabric?

 

 

Wool is a type of fabric derived from the hairs of various animals. While most people associate the word “wool” with sheep, there are, in fact, a variety of distinct types of wool that producers derive from animals other than sheep.

How Is Wool Fabric Made?

 

The production of wool begins with the shearing of wool-bearing animals. Some animals bear wool once per year, and others bear wool multiple times throughout the year.

Next, the shorn wool is cleaned and sorted into bales. There are a variety of ways to remove the greasy lanolin in raw wool, but most large wool producers use chemical catalysts for this process.

Once the wool fibers are clean and sorted, they are carded, which is the process of making the fibers into long strands. These carded strands are then spun into yarn, and after a final washing, this yarn can be woven into garments and other types of woolen textiles.

Lastly, the finished textiles may be exposed to a variety of post-production processes to develop certain attributes. Fulling, for instance, is the immersion of a wool textile in water to make the fibers interlock, and crabbing is the process of permanently setting this interlock. Lastly, wool producers may decate their products for shrink-proofing purposes, and rarely, they may also dye their finished wool products.

 

What Different Types of Wool Fabric Are There?

 

 

Merino Wool
Merino wool is one of the world’s most common types of wool. The vast majority of merino sheep are bred in Australia, and wool from merino sheep is used to make all sorts of different kinds of garments and industrial materials.

Cashmere Wool
Cashmere is one of the most expensive and luxurious types of wool. The name “cashmere” comes from the Kashmir region of India, which is the area where the furry goats that supply cashmere wool originated.

Mohair Wool
Mohair wool comes from angora goats, which have incredibly thick, wavy wool. While it’s possible to gather mohair wool without hurting angora goats, the mohair industry has been mired in controversy for generations over the widespread mistreatment of these wool-bearing animals.

Alpaca Wool
People in South America have been breeding alpacas for their wool for thousands of years. Younger alpacas can yield hairs as small as 15 microns, but alpaca wool roughens as it ages, which makes the hair fibers of older alpacas unusable for apparel purposes.

Camel Wool
During the early 20th century, camel hair suits were all the rage. Camel wool is incredibly insulative, but it is also less durable than other types of wool. Since camel hair is relatively rough, it isn’t well-suited for any garments that directly touch the skin.

Virgin Wool
Also known as lamb’s wool, virgin wool is wool made from a lamb’s first shearing. This term can also refer to wool that hasn’t been recycled.

Angora Wool
Angora wool comes from a special breed of rabbit that produces incredibly fine and soft hair. This type of wool is very expensive, and the rabbits that produce it are not commonly kept in humane conditions.

Vicuna Wool
The vicuna is a relative of the alpaca that is exclusively native to Peru. Vicuna wool is the most expensive type of wool in existence, which is partially due to the Peruvian government’s attempts to protect this endangered species.

Llama Wool
Llama wool is generally too rough to be worn next to the skin, but it is suitable for outerwear garments. It’s relatively rare to find a breeder that produces llama wool.

Qiviut Wool
The qiviut is a type of musk ox native to Alaska. While the fibers produced by this animal are very rough, they are eight times more insulative than sheep wool, which makes qiviut wool ideal for gloves, hats, and other types of cold weather gear.

Shear the animal. The first step in the wool production process is to sheer the fleece coat off the wool-bearing animal.

Scour the wool. Sheep wool in particular contains a fatty grease called lanolin which must be cleaned from the raw wool before it's spun into yarn. It's a time-consuming process that can be achieved by soaking the wool in warm water, but typically large wool producers use chemical additives to speed up the process.

Sort the wool. Once scoured, the clean wool is sorted into bales.

Card the wool. Carding is a process of separating and straightening the raw wool fibers into long strands in order to make it easier to spin into wool yarn. Carding can be done by hand or using carding machines.

Spin the wool into yarn. The next step is to spin the wool into yarn using a spinning machine and one of two spinning systems: the worsted system or the woolen system. Worsted wool has the air squeezed out of it, creating a smooth, dense, and even wool. Woolen wool, on the other hand, is spun with air between the fibers, creating a lighter, fuzzier, and irregular wool. After the wool yarn is formed, it's wrapped around cones, bobbins, or commercial drums.

Weave the yarn. The yarn is now ready to be woven into wool garments or other wool textiles. Woolen yarns are typically woven into fabric using a looser plain weave pattern, where worsted yarns are ideal for a more tightly woven twill weave pattern.

Add the finishing touches. Wool manufacturers may choose to put the final item through any number of procedures to improve the wool quality. For example, fulling is a process where the wool item is soaked in water to interlock its fibers. Crabbing is a process that perpetually keeps those fibers in place. Decating is a process that uses heat to shrink-proof the item.

 

How to Take Care of Wool Fabric

 

 

Wool is one of the more durable fabrics in your wardrobe, but that doesn't mean wool garments don't require love and care. Use these tips to extend the life of your wool garments:

Empty all your pockets before storing. This prevents the fabric of wool clothing from stretching out and sagging.

Hang your garment in a steamy bathroom. If you hang wool clothing in the bathroom during a hot shower, the steam will smooth out wrinkles. Avoid using an iron since direct heat can cause damage to the garment by changing the structure of the proteins in the wool fibers.

Take wool clothing to a dry cleaner. The occasional trip to the dry cleaner is the safest cleaning method, but if you wash your wool clothing at home, follow the washing instructions on the garment's label.

Dry wool clothing on a flat surface. This prevents wet wool garments from getting creases. Keep garments out of sunlight to avoid bleaching.

Store wool garments in a cool, dark place. In order to prevent light and heat from fading and damaging the material, hang wool clothing in a closet. Wool is also particularly attractive to moth larvae, so place mothballs near your wool clothes to prevent moths from ruining your clothing.

 

 
Characteristics Of Wool Fabric
 

Wool is known for its unique properties that make it a popular choice in clothing and textile industry:

01/

Insulating: Wool fibers have natural crimp that creates air pockets, providing excellent insulation to keep you warm in cold weather.

02/

Moisture-wicking: Wool can absorb moisture (up to 30% of its weight) without feeling wet, making it breathable and comfortable to wear.

03/

Durable: Wool fibers are resilient, elastic, and have natural elasticity, making them resistant to wrinkles and tearing.

04/

Odor-resistant: Wool fibers contain lanolin, a natural oil that repels dirt and moisture, preventing odors from setting in.

 

Uses Of Wool Fibres

 

  • To make woolen yarns - Woolen yarns are made of wool. These woolen yarns are used for making handmade sweaters, caps, and gloves. Wools are available in various colors and shades.
  • To make woolen clothes -Wool is used in making different clothes including high-end suits (coats and trousers). The cardigan, sweaters, fleece items, underwear, socks are made of wool. Even t-shirts and shirts are made of wool (woolen fabric). Woolen clothes give better warmth compared to clothes made of other fibers like cotton, silk, and polyester. Due to its properties of absorbing moisture and insulating against heat and cold.
  • Accessories made of wool - Hats, scarves (muffler), gloves, other forms of cold-weather gear are made of wool.
  • To make Quilts and blankets - In winter, we love sleeping under soft and warm quilts. Do you know what is used inside the quilts? Those are wool fibers. Wool is used in making blankets. In India, woolen blankets are commonly used to cover the body from cold in the winter.
  • To make hard crafts items - Woolen yarns are used for hand embroidery work. For making floor mats, table cover mats, and mats for covering home items.
  • Used in making carpets - Wool is also used in making carpets.
  • Wool is used in making felt fabrics. Felt is frequently used in industry as a sound or vibration damper, as a non-woven fabric for air filtration, and in machinery for cushioning and padding moving parts.
  • Wool is also used in soft furnishings and beddings.

 

The Benefits Of Wool Fabric
 

Natural and Renewable: It is a natural fibre. It has evolved to produce a fabric that has become one of the most effective natural forms of all-weather protection known to man.

Safe: It has a naturally high UV protection, which is much higher than most synthetics and cotton.

Fire Retardant: A fabric made entirely of wool doesn’t readily catch fire. Even if it does, it burns slowly and self-extinguishes when the source of the flame is removed.

Biodegradable: When a natural Merino fibre is disposed of it takes only a few years to decompose and can be used to put fertility into soil for crop growing. Most synthetics on the other hand, are extremely slow to degrade.

Breathable: It has a large capacity to absorb moisture vapour and sweat next to the skin making it extremely breathable.

Durable: A single fibre can be bent 20,000 times without breaking and still have the power to recover and return to its natural shape, this reduces the need to replace garments and top quality wool products stay looking good for longer.

Easy Care: Woollen fibres have a natural protective layer which prevents stains from being absorbed, they also pick up less dust as they are static resistant.

Multi-climate: Wool is active, reacting to changes in ones body temperature to keep you warm when you’re cold but releasing heat and moisture when you’re hot.

Natural Insulator: It can insulate the home providing and retaining warmth; reducing energy costs.

Elastic: The natural elasticity of the fibres means it stretches with the wearer, but then returns to its natural shape, so there is less chance of garments sagging or losing their shape.

FAQ

 

Q: What does wool fabric feel like?

A: Depending on its quality and the strength of its fibers, wool can either feel cozy and soft or it can feel itchy. Wool fibers have a scaly surface and which can lead to irritation when it comes in contact with skin. It all boils down to the strength of the fiber.

Q: What is made of wool fabric?

A: Woolen fabrics and yarns are traditionally made into bulky garments such as coats, heavy jackets and sweaters. Worsted yarns are spun from longer (three inches and longer) fibers that have been carded, combed and drawn.

Q: What is the durability of wool fabric?

A: Natural durability
Wool items last because wool fibers can bend up to 20,000 times before breaking. This durability far surpasses other fibers, making wool tough to tear and resistant to abrasion.

Q: Is wool an expensive fabric?

A: Wool fabric is a type of cloth made with application of animal hair for retaining body heat. It has always been one of the most expensive materials with exclusive properties.

Q: How can you tell if wool is high-quality?

A: When you're assessing quality, make sure wool knitwear is made from 100% wool and not a synthetic blend. McCorkill says blends pill more, especially if they are predominantly acrylic. Another indicator of quality is the fibre length and thickness – high-quality wool is made from extremely fine fleeces.

Q: How to tell if it's real wool?

A: A very common test that we came across was burning a strand of the textile. If the strand is difficult to ignite, burns slowly and smells like burnt hair then it's likely to be natural. If it burns quickly and is easy to catch on fire then it's probably synthetic.

Q: What fabric mimics wool?

A: Faux wool fabrics
Synthetic wool fabrics or faux wool fabrics are man-made using polyester, as mentioned above they are both affordable and versatile. Not only that they are highly durable, giving you a much longer fabric lifespan.

Q: What color is pure wool?

A: Wool is not pure white, but has a natural off-white hue that depends on many factors such as the breed of the animal, the season, the climate, the diet, and the health of the animal. Wool also has natural variations in texture and quality depending on the type of wool, such as fine, medium, or coarse wool.

Q: Why is pure wool so expensive?

A: It takes time and money to nourish the sheep, for the wool to grow, to shear the wool and to sort the wool. From there the wool goes through processes including carding, spinning, weaving and finishing. As a natural fibre, animal welfare is crucial to ensure adequate nutrition and access to water and shelter.

Q: What does 100% wool feel like?

A: Depending on its quality and the strength of its fibers, wool can either feel cozy and soft or it can feel itchy. Wool fibers have a scaly surface and which can lead to irritation when it comes in contact with skin. It all boils down to the strength of the fiber.

Q: Is cashmere better than wool?

A: Warmth: Cashmere wool provides more warmth than standard sheep wool. Durability: The thicker fibres of sheep wool are more durable than cashmere. Breathability: Cashmere breathes exceptionally well. Even though sheep wool is the gold standard of breathable fabrics, cashmere easily takes the prize.

Q: How can you tell if wool is good?

A: Look for garments made from long-staple wool. Fiber Diameter: Finer wool fibers are often associated with higher quality. Merino wool, for example, is known for its fine fibers, which contribute to softness and comfort. Softness: High-quality wool tends to be soft and not scratchy.

Q: What makes wool a good fabric?

A: As wool fibres are packed together, tiny pockets of air form allowing the material to absorb and release moisture. This could be moisture in the atmosphere, or perspiration from the wearer. This makes wool an extremely breathable material and helps you avoid any clamminess when you head inside from the colder outdoors.

Q: Does wool deteriorate over time?

A: In the right conditions, tests show that wool products will almost completely degrade after six months in the ground. Meanwhile, wool also biodegrades in aquatic environments. The latest research in New Zealand has demonstrated that by 90 days, different types of wool had biodegraded by 20%.

Q: Which wool is the best quality?

A: You should consider merino wool as the luxury take on regular sheep wool. This soft and lightweight type of wool is known for being naturally odor resistant and breathable. That's why slim-fit knits are often crafted from merino wool.

Q: What is unique about wool?

A: Wool is incredibly hygroscopic, and can absorb nearly half its weight in moisture, all while still feeling dry and warm against your body. This incredible ability to absorb moisture while still feeling dry means you will remain very comfortable in a wool sweater even if it is cold and damp.

Q: Why is wool so special?

A: The natural crimp of the wool traps pockets of still air, insulating your skin from cold environments and keeping you warmer. Also, due to its ability to take up moisture, wool maintains a drier microclimate next to skin, keeping the wearer warm and dry.

Q: What is the most sought after wool?

A: Vicuña wool is the finest and rarest wool in the world. It comes from the vicuña, a small llama-like animal native to the Andes Mountains in Peru.

Q: Which animal has the best wool?

A: The finest wool is obtained from Merino sheep.It is a breed of sheep that is used for wool production. Bakharwal is a breed of sheep that provides wool for making walls. Lohi & Nali breed of sheep produce soft wool that can be used for weaving carpets.

Q: Which quality of wool is expensive?

A: Merino wool is expensive. But expensive is a flexible concept. If you know the reason why merino wool has a higher price tag than other wool types, you will probably understand better. First of all, merino wool grows very slowly, and can only be 'harvested' twice a year.
